Anaphylactic reactions to synthetic GnRH or GnRH agonists have been reported.
Pregnancy: LUPRON DEPOT-PED may cause fetal harm.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Initial Rise of Gonadotropins and Sex Steroid Levels

During the early phase of therapy or after subsequent doses, gonadotropins and sex steroids may rise above baseline because of the initial stimulatory effect of the drug. Therefore, an increase in clinical signs and symptoms of puberty, including vaginal bleeding, may be observed during the first weeks of therapy or after subsequent doses.

Psychiatric Events

Psychiatric events have been reported in patients taking GnRH agonists, including LUPRON DEPOT-PED. Postmarketing reports with this class of drugs include symptoms of emotional lability, such as crying, irritability, impatience, anger, and aggression. Monitor for development or worsening of psychiatric symptoms during treatment.

Convulsions

Postmarketing reports of convulsions have been observed in patients receiving GnRH agonists, including LUPRON DEPOT-PED. These included patients with a history of seizures, epilepsy, cerebrovascular disorders, central nervous system anomalies or tumors, and patients on concomitant medications that have been associated with convulsions, such as bupropion and SSRIs. Convulsions have also been reported in patients in the absence of any of the conditions mentioned above.

Pseudotumor Cerebri (Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension)

Pseudotumor cerebri (idiopathic intracranial hypertension) have been reported in pediatric patients receiving GnRH agonists, including LUPRON DEPOT-PED.
